was strangled to deMh. Harry I'steo of Au
rora was arrested for the llrst crime , pto'idud
guilty , und was sentenced to fifteen yoats In
tlio penitentiary The murderer of the woman
was never dlscoxcred. Recently a number of
( jcnova people lm\o received letters from
Ueorgo llnlloek , a former res dent of thatclty ,
who is serving a term In the Nebraska state
penitentiary for stealing bojs. Hnllock elaliiis
lie shot the two policemen anil slranu'Ied tno
old woman IIH well. He Insists that l-steo had
nothing to do with It. According to the letter
h H conscience In troubling him and ho dcsltes
to glvo up the whole story. .
In order to ascertain the truth of the story
Tin : BUB representative visited the state
penitentiary this nfterneWn , Warden Hoi-
liins nITorded ovorv facility for Investigation.
Ueorae llullock is serving a flvo year sen
tence for burglary committed in Ilarlan
county. In the state penitentiary , where
every man loses his identity , ho is simply
known us No. 1(170. ( Ho is employed In the
cooper shop , and that he Is indusliious goes
without saying. Seated in the warden's
olllco Bullock told the story of his several
crimes to Tun Hen representative and it is
bore reproduced in bis own words :
Dc-serihiiiK the Doulilc Murder.
"Tho shooting of Policeman McNott nnd
( irnut occurred on the night of August 28 ,
Ibbli. With two companions , one of whom
was the Harry Estco referred to in the
paper , I hud entered several houses for the
purpose of committing burglary. Wo had
gene through two houses and were just com
ing out from the third ono when wo were
discovered by the two polluoman. They ar
rested the other two , but I started to run.
McNott called nftor mo to stop , nnd then , us
I kept on running , bo fired at me twice ,
neither shot hitting mo. I then turned nnd
ihcd at him. Ho full at the first shot. By
this time Grant opened fire nt mo and I com
menced shooting at him. Ho fell at the second
end or third shot. I afterwards heard that
McNott had died instantly , while Grant lived
but six hours.
"After tno "hooting nil three of ua walked
out of town to a pined called Hawkins' grade ,
west of Geneva , und there climbed into some
boxcars on the Chicago As Northwestern
railroad nnd beat our way to Clinton , la. At
this place wo separated , the other two f l-
lows going north , while I came on west to
Nebraska , beating my way on Srelght trains.
I had an urclo named Albert Bullock , living
hoventcen miles north of Alma , and I stayed
with him that winter. Ho know no'.liing of
the crime I bad committed.
Story ol'tho Second Crime.
"I returned to Gunova some time In 188S ,
where 1 fell in with ttnrry Esteoand another
follow , nnd wo started out to 'raise the
wind. ' Ono night about two weeks after I
returned to Geneva wo went out to the out
skirts of town and entered n house belonging
to a widow with only ono son. Wo Ituow
the son was out of town and that she was
nloiio. Wo had gene through the house and
secured $ . , ' 50 , and were just gelling ready
to leave when the woman invoke. She
began to scream and she n'so Ihcd
two shots from n revolver. I stood in the
hall bv the door while the other two fellows
wont In. Ono grabbed her and hold hoi-
down en the bed while the other cut her
throat with n razor which ho had In his
Docket. After she was dead wo carried her
body out and throw it in the bun house ,
nbout fifty feet away. Wo then not fire to
the house nnd wontawny.
"Wo wont over the wagon bridge across
the Fox river and turned south. At the
bridge wo mot a fellow named Bill Lance ,
who passed us nnd went on to tno burning
house. Wo wont to the depot and got onto
n freight train and roda Into Chicago , arriv
ing there early in the morning. Wo stayed
in Chicago until night when wo separated ,
nil ngroelng to moot In Nebraska I came
west and some days afterwards wo all mot at
Fatrlicld in Clay county. Wo all worked on
farms In that neighborhood. Estco went
back to Illinois , whllo I worked for several
months for n farmer named Norman Slovens ,
living in Harmn county.
"One day iu the fall of 1SSO L learned that
Gardner Stevens , nn undo of tha man I had
been working lor. had sold 300 head of hogs.
That night I attempted to rob his house but
was captured. I was se t to the peniten
tiary lu December , IbS'J ' , and have live joars
to servo. "
When asked why ho had mauo this con
fession and why ho had written the letters
back to Illinois avowing the crimes , Bullock
( said ho was actuated by two motives. In
thu first place , ho said , his conscience
troubled him , but tlio ravages made in bis
countenance bv gnawing rcmorso were
hardly discernible. His second loason , and
undoubtedly his principal ono , was tbnt ho
hoped to nialto some arrangement with the
prosecuting attorney in Illinois whereby ho
could turn .state's avidoneo nnd secure a
comparatively light sentence in the state
penitentiary , after which ho would feel
tbnt ho had expiated his crime. Ho
hays that ho knows \\hero the other men
Implicated In both crimes can bo found ,
although ho persistently refused to disclose
their names or nnv clue to tholr Identity.
One of them , ho says , has visited the peni
tentiary recently. Bullock is evidently
nppruhonsivo that the other parties con-
ccred may "do him" by confessing first , ana
be scorns to u ish to forestall them
Appoar.uict ) ol' thu Mur lorer.
George Bullock Is an intelligent looking
man iiuout i.'S voars old. Hu conversed freely
In regard to crimes tie el aims to have com
mitted and npoaks of them with the utmost
unconcern. Warden Hopkins nnd Deputy
Warden Hynors have both hoard him toll the
story nnd both have known ilsevornl months.
Ho gives all details very minutely and there
Is evidently u great deal of truth in tils story ,
which Is ono of the most remarkable that
has boon related within tbo four walls of tha
-tale penitentiary for some time.

Grand PontllliMl .Mass with
Elaborate Music.
ST. Lori ; ) , Mo. , Nov. 80. November 30 ,
1811 , Just fifty years 1120 , Peter Kiehard Ken-
rick was consecrated bishop of the Homan
Catholic church. Today his golden jublico
was culcbratud with ( jro.it pomp. Only once
bcforo has the golden jubilcoof n bishop been
celebrated , that of .John McIInio , Archbishop
of Tuam , Ireland , cloven years ago. It is an
event so rare that the whole Catholic world
is Interested In it , nod lu this case not sim
ply because such a celebration is infrequent ,
but because Archbishop Konrick tilled these
fifty years with usefulness and good.
Preceding the mass thcro was an Impros-
slvo procession from the cathedral parish
school , situated next to the churcn , to the
main entrance ot the cathodr.il. In the
march from tha yard and up the stops of the
church , the venerable archblsboD walked
under a canopy which was carried by attend
ants appointed for the occasion.
The grand pontillcal mass commomor-
ntlvo of tno occasion began at 8 O'clock in
the historic old cathedral on Wall street ,
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Hyun of
ficiating. The jubilee sermon was delivered
by Archbishop Kyan of Philadelphia , Bishop
Hyun in the course of his sermon reviewed
the lifo of Archbishop Kenrick in all its
ph.iso3 , rolllous , business and charitable ,
and suoka of his great sanctity and fortitude.
Immediately following the sermon was the
benediction and the cardinal chanted the
credo. The orchestra and grand chorus then
rendered the credo which is one of the finest
passages in Gounod's grand mass. This part
of the mass was impressive in the oxticmo.
When the words "moarnntus est" of the
creed were pronounced all the officers and
assistants of tno mass knelt down atul ro-
inalnrd on their uncos until the close of the
creed. Archbishop Kenrick in the mean
time , left the throne and walked between the
deacons nf honor to the kneeling stool In the
center of the sanctuary just behind the car
dinal.
The chorus of Franciscan monks chanted
in Grecorian style tno answer to the cole-
brant. At last the gospel was recited unu
the cardinal gave the episcopal benediction.
The orchestra then rendered the "Kcro
Sacordos , " which closed the musical pro
gram.

The mass over , the procession of church
dignitaries passed out in the same manner as
it entered the church. From the church the
cardinal , archbishop and all participating
clergy went to the Lindcll hotel to attend the
banquet.
The church was decorated on n grand
scale for the occasion. Tbo sanctuary was
almost IllleO with rare plants and flowers ,
illuminated globes and ricli color. * . Largo
banners were suspended from the high ceil
ing and the pilasters and columns were
fairly covered with bunting1. The two
thrones on the epistle ana gospel sides of the
altar were decorated with colors appropriate
to the dignitaries who occupied thorn. The
cardinal's thronn on the oplsrlo .side- was
decorated in red , and the archbishop's 111
purple and other shades suitable to the rank
and occasion of the celebration. Banner-
cttos , with fitting inscriptions and Illustra
tions , wetc suspended between the columns ,
A pretty feature was the Latin inscriptions
on the ton principal columns and two pilasters
on cithur side of the altar. These inscriptions
were peculiarly fitting to the occasion.
The cardinal and Archbishop Ivenrick
marched arm and arm into the banquet hall ,
followcu by the archbishop ; , bishop } , monsignors -
signors and prlosts. The archoishop was
seated at the he.-U of the table with the car
dinal on his right and Archbishop Elder on
his loft. The archbishops was seated in the
order of their seniority.
Cardinal Giobons opened with grace , and
after the menu was finished Vicar General
Brady read to .iirchbiblion Konrick an ad
dress from the clergy of Ills dioceso.
The venerable archbishop , deeply moved
by the expressions of love from his priests ,
arose am ! mndo a short butaffecting response.
Hoy. Father Goller then made an address
of welcome to Cardinal Gibbons and the
visiting clergy.
Cardinal Gibbons' Speech.
Father Coffey , the toasmastor , then an
nounced the first toast , which was responded
to bv Cardinal Gibbons. The toast was "Our
Holy Father , Lee XIII. "
Cardinal Gibbons said :
The in mo of l.eo XIII. will live In history.
Ho will lUiuo as the peer of Ills ( iro.it namc-
saUo. l.eo 1 , and ( if tha Llragorles ami tha In-

the people. l.lUo his divine imutorho can say :
' 1 have compassion on the multitude , and I

consolation. "
In his luminous encyclical on the construc
tion ot Christian fulth , our Holy Kiithur pro
claims the fundamental truth. 11 tinth which ,
though fundamental. Is sometimes foigotten
or controverted , that the t'.ithollo rell'-'lon Is
adapted to all times and places and finds
he.rse.lf at huiiio under uvury fuiiu of govern

ical system ) , hut also under republican forms
of government. Nowhere dons the church of
Go'l onjov greater f-eodom than hero , and no-
wlmro docs nlio advance \uth giuatur strides.
And nowhere Is the uunlcn anthoi Ity of the

This closed tno banquet , and the prelates
dispersed to meet again this evening at thu
archbishop's residence to view the torch
light parade.
Thirty Thousand lu Procession.
The grandest sight in the way of a torch *
light parade that has perhaps over been wit
nessed In the United States it was the privi
lege of St. Loulsans to witness tonight wliuu
HO.IXX ) faithful Catholics turned out to do
honor tJ the Most Hoy. Archbishop Ivenrick
as u closing testimonial of the day's cere
monies. Thirty thousand torch-bearers , rep
resenting the fifty-two parlshoi of
the city and many visiting delegations
from surrounding towns , marched through
the residence portion of the cltv and passed
the orchleplscopal residence. Each pariah
was accompanlea by a baud , and. the oaect ot
the 25,000 torches was something gorgeous.
At tha archbishop's resilience on Llndoll
avcnuo a stand had boon ortcted , from which
the parade was reviewed by many promi
nent cltUens. As the hend.of the procession
reached the stand George Francis , in his
carriage , raised his hat aid bowed to the
archbishop and Cardinal Gfbbons , who were
witnessing the display front a window , the
two latter returning the salute In n most
praclous manner. Next canto Mayor Noonan ,
the city fathers and city officials , who per
formed the same courtesy add received lllto
recognition. All along thu line of march the
sidewalks and half the streets were ono mass
of humanity. The pollco escort bad the
greatest difficulty in making n passageway
for the marchers , who walhoa eight nbroast.
The windows of every residence nlonp the
route were also full of ca or faces and every
available space was filled wltu men and
women.
If the archbishop ncodtid evidence to show
the deep love and veneration with which ho
Is held by the people of his archdiocese , It
was proven tonight when these J10.000 men
and boys turned out in this bitterly cold
weather to march six to eight miles of street
to do him honor.
All the visiting prelates and ecclesiastics
were domiciled at the residence of friends
along the line of march , and at the Jesuit
college at tbo corner of Grand avouuo and
Pine street.
It took the procession ono hour and thirty-
five initiates to pass a glvori point and It will
long bo romotnborod by nil who were lucky
enough to got a good view of it.

WASHINGTON , D. 0. , NOV. 30. Secretary
Noble today rendered n doclsiOn in the case
of W. F. Tucker , jr. , against Ornn B. Stout
and Henry W. Lawtou who , during the
years 1S32 and 18SH , mrfdo desert land and
homestead entries of certain tracts of land in
the Santa Fo , Now Mexico , land district.
One of the entries intluded a spring , well
known in that section. These entries
were rejected by' the commissioner
of the general land office on the
ground that the land sought to bo acquired
was within the Kunl Indian reservation. The
ontrymon , however , contended that the ex
ecutive order creating the roservatlo.i was
without authority of law , and that if tba
reservation was surveyed by competent
authority the land in question is not within
the boundaries , The /secretary finds that
the reservation was legally created , and that
the lands in dispute nrb within Its proper
boundaries. Two of thu&o ontrymon , Messrs.
Lawton and Tucker , are crmy officers , and
this fact , the secretary savs , disqualifies
them from making or perfecting homestead
entries. The commissioner's decision is
affirmed.

Special to Tin : BIK. : | A diplomatic com
munication from Hussla which I have seen
this morning brings terrible news. Over
HO.OOO.OOO of human bomgs are literally dying
of hunger. In some of the Russian provinces
bordering on the Volga the people nro keep-
In g tliemsclvcs ollvo by eating the baric of
trees.
This awful stale of things is aggravated
, by the blundering method of the Kusslan
administration. For instance : A few weeks
before the issue of the uknso absolutely for
bidding the exportation of cereals , the rail
way companies were ordered to allow none of
tbnlr cars to be used for the transport of this
grain. The companies Improving on
this order stopped the transport
of corn. Two million sacks of
corn were actually rotting in the piovinco of
Odessa , while a few miles nwny men and
women were starving. And all this through
tbo criminal stupidity of the officials.
The distribution of the . ' 0,000,000 roubles
ordered by the emperor was effected in the
same way. In the province of .Inraslav
money was given to the peasants for drink.
Next morning 15,000 mon and women were
found dead In the highways.
IJrl aiidnfjo in the Itesull.
As a natural result of all these horrors , the
general misery has driven the people to overt
acts of brigandage. It is dangerous to walk
through some districts after dark , and the
tradespeople are obliged to barricade their
doors , as If they were In n besieged city.
Thefts and burglaries are of every day oc
currence in Odessa und other towns. In cOr-
tain cases when people have refused alms to
beggars , they have boon massacred in the
streets.
As the winter wears on the situation grows
mora and more appalling , and insurrections
we dreaded in March and April , by which
time the sufferings of the peasants will have
reached a climax.
The document containing nil these facts
said : "Should the prevailing distress affect
the Polish provinces , or the governments of
Moscow and St. Petersburg , it may become
necessary to divert public attention by em
barking in war. The c/ar is much concerned
by the state of affairs which ho saw during
his journey to Livadia , and is grcatly
nccnscd with his ministers , whom ho
accns.es of having concealed the truth from
him. On the other hand- the ministers fool
bitter toward France , whom they nccuso of
having failed to take up the recent loan to
the expected amount with enthusiasm. "
Altogether the financial situation Is far
from brilliant , while the economic situation
Is deplorable.

PAIII" , Nov. JiO. fNow YorK Herald Cable
Special to Tim Bisn.J In an interview with
the Herald correspondent Major Brackott ,
who represented the United States at the
conference on emigration Just concluded hero ,
said :
"Tho general consensus of opinion in the
congress was that consular inspection was
necessary for regulating the emigrant traffic
leaving from hero for the United States.
There were present at the congress several
French shipping agents , who scorned to have
perfectly fair intentions and not inclined to
oppose anything like reasonable regulations.
The companies owning tha steamships would
without doubt co-operate , as they don't c ire
to run the risk of having to bring passengers
back and balng fined beside. The evil at the
root of all the frauds practiced Is the emi
grant aconts.
"Somo days ago myself mid Prince Cassano
interviewed a party of several hundred Swiss
going to tbo United States. 1 asked one of
them what ho was going to do , and ho re
plied that bo was going to work on a farm.
When asked if ho expected to go on to a farm
in midwinter ho said ho didn't know. When
pressed ho said that he could do work carv
ing , Ho is evidently bMnir Introduced in
splto of the labor-contrict laws ,
"My vlow Is that the action of the congress
Is In the right direction , but Is not yet com
plete. My Idea Is that nn Inspector
should uccompany every emigrant ship ,
mix with the emigrants , find out about thorn ,
and if ho saved half n do/on criminals from
coming Into this country In ono year lie
would more than earn his pay. Franco ,
Switzerland and Holland hava a police .sys
tem for preventing the immigration of
criminals and paupers. It was sug
gested to the commission that a
plan of Issuing cortlllcutos should
bo recommended , but they thought the
measure was more comprehensive than they
cared to adopt. They acreo that it will bo
necessary to have u special agent at ovary
port whence uiany emigrants loft. They
have recommended oven moro stringent
rules than wo have at Jlavro ,
oven to the extent of making the agent
responsible for contracts ho enters Into to
provide emigrants with labor.

better for the United States , The commis
sion has now formed lUolf Into u society ,
which will enable It to extend considerably

There Is much excitement here among \ s
classes of population and the authorities bt
Hove If they can Inlllctn defeat upon the rebo
forces it will have n peed effect Upon the people
ple of Pokin and vicinity. No doubt is en
tertained but that the situation Is extremely
dangerous. Should the rebel forces continue
to advance toward the capital In splto
of tno efforts of the imperial troops
to provoit them , It is feared by
the foreigners that the whole country
will arise and aid the invaders. The garri
son tit Shanghai has been sent to suppress
other Insurrectionary bodlos whlclt are
marching In various directions through the
country , evidently with the intention of join
ing tno main body.
The most serious condition of affairs exists
at Tnkow. This Is the place where the most
brutal outrages were committed on priests ,
nuns and convents. What notion the govern
ment will take In this matter Is hard to say.
That the authorities are in full sunpatby
with the perpetrators of these most norri-
bio crimes there is no reason to doubt. The
first reports from TOKOW stated that after
these fiends had worked their bloody will on
all the Christian men , women and children
who fell into their hands they were feasted
by the loading Chinese mandarines in the
district. It is now said that the local man-
darinos agreed to allow the rebels free
license "or the outrage of Christians ,
provided thov did no harm to
other inhabitants. These terms were
accepted by the rebels , and tney puwucd
their work without hindrance. Three hun
dred Europeans and native Christians were
massacred. It is believed that not a single
.Christian in the dlstiict escaped.
Consternation prevails among the Prot
estant mlssionailos in the district through
which it is oxpectcd the robcls will pass.
Local officers at Tstin-IIou have declared
that they are powerless to piotcct the mis
sionaries , and that if they desire to save
"
their lives they had better 'seun safety In
flight , and sixteen missionaries at Tsun-Hoa
have , therefore , abandoned their stations
and have sought refuge in safer parts of the
country.
